Pirates or Ninjas? (Home of the Taijituan Pirates! Yarr!)

[Talmann]

* Talmann joins in with PoD to sing some Pirate songs with his rich bass voice.

With me rum and vodka, I be pretty juiced up to be a'singin'! What say we party this night away, eh PoD me mate?

* Talmann kicks Bark for shooting at Al', then pulls up the life ring, with Alana attached.

Arr, I be havin' a splendid time indeed. 'Specially now! Drink, m'lady?

[PoD Gunner]

*throws back another gulp of grog while blinking in amazement at the bass voice coming out of the skinny and tanned body of Boatswain Tal* Eh, Capt'n...*hic*, I might be PoD on land, but here I'm plain ol' Gunner, in charge of the ship's cannons, harpoons, maintenance, and showing this pack of dogs how to use'em.  yarr...and lately Eduardo...stupid lizard.

*holds on to Tal and looks at Allama* She's starting to dry....hmm... is she a jewel or a goldpiece? Yarr! C'mon matey! Let us sing and celebrate the luck of havin such a gentle creature aboard, and especially in one piece ! *picks up his fiddle and plays the first notes from 'It's great to be a pirate'.*

[The Empire]

*watches as the shadow of a sub get's bigger beneath me and catches the UHF antennae when it breaks the surface*

"O'hoy For your own good, you should tie barak to the mast and swim for it!, The mermies are pissed and accordin to my lieutenant they have released the attack dolphins!

*Watches through a binoc as a shoal of dolphins in kevlar body armor packing micro torpedo launchers appears on the horizon*

[PoD Gunner]

*keeps playing and mumbles* someone wants to mess up our party...grrr...let them come....Eduardo will finally show yee'all what he's made of...hahaha! No mate of ours gets left behind, no matter what!

[Allama]

Thanks for the lift, Tal'!  I much appreciate not bein' killed after all, so thanks are due all around!  Eduardo is a handy beast to have about.  Oh, and I'll have that drink now.

* Alana joins in the singing with another startling low voice (after taking a few sips of rum, of course).

[Talmann]

* Talmann looks surprised at the contralto that is among this hearty crew

Gunner, what say ye? I think this lass has earned a couple'a more drinks. What's that ya say KR? Dolphins coming for Bark? Well throw him overboard in a life raft, and we'll pull him out in the nick'a time. It'll confuse those litt'l devils outright. At least until we can make a safe getaway. Ain't that right, Capt'n?

[Khablan]

Aye, sounds like a plan to me!  Hold still there, Barakarin, while we attach this bungee cord to ye.

[Allama]

Ye look surprised, Talmann!  You ought to know, of all people, how large voices can come out of small people.    I'll take those drinks, by the by, and raise you one!  Cheers!

[Khablan]

Drat those kevlar-coated dolphins!  Where the heck is Schwartzenegger when ye need him?  Oh bilge-water, I forgot, he's hung up his Terminator gear for politics.  And Rambo took up golf.  Looks like we're on our own, mateys!

[PoD Gunner]

Yarrr...no worries Capt'n. If there be no Rambo and no Terminator at our side, there be Eduardo. He be too ugly and stupid for politics or golf, but dolphins rank extremely high among his favorite snacks! Plus we got these mighty 200 cannons and KR's howitzers aboard this floating rack, all ready for battle and we can shoot almost anything with'em...as ammo that is! As for the aiming skills of the crew, we'll see about that...So, Capt'n, feel like yellin a skirmish order?

[Bara]

Or i could not go on the bungee cord and use that Quad .50 cal and that RPG-7...and yes capt, i wont shoot allama...sorry bout that

[The Empire]

*watches as a dozen white trails lead from the dolphins towards the ship*

"I warned ya not to mess with the mermies! Ther's still plenty of room in the bunks on my sub fer most o y'all!"

[Allama]

A real pirate never abandons her ship!  At least, not until she's sure it'll be lost.  And then only after all the treasure is safely off.  Especially the rum.

[The Empire]

"Oh, and I took the liberty of transferring the rum here so it wouldn't blow y'all even more sky high than those torpedoes will..."

[Allama]

If the mermaids attack, grab an armload of dubloons from the hold and follow the rum, lads!  Good on you, Emp!  Wise decision.
